I was born in Russia but I do not live there currently. But even if I did, no. Not quite. It is true that they censor media criticizing the government (a few bands have been prevented from playing for doing so I believe) but the average person saying "lol putin sucks" is not going to be arrested or fined.

There is a lot of fake news and disinformation about Russia's laws. I don't know much because I'm generally too dumb for politics. But I do know that the most common things reported are actually blown out of proportion, or don't really exist. Like the "gay propaganda ban" (Which is not gay specific and only applies to media shown to underage people - it's basically a ban on sexual content aimed at minors last I heard) and the "gay purges" (Unsourced claims coming from 1 shady "LGBT organization" which I highly suspect is fake)

That being said, don't get me wrong, the government is still fascist as fuck and they censor stupid things, I don't think they can even show depictions of alcohol on TV before a certain time or something stupid like that. A lot of it is due to religious influence.
